POPPSY Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Trouble Sleeping? Try Meditating! Most sleep problems are caused by anxiety and stress. We just can't turn our brains off! A great way to get more sleep to clean out our brains and silence our racing thoughts and the best way to do that is through meditation. If you're anything like me, you may have just scoffed and said you just can't meditate and I'm here to tell you yes, actually you can and yes, actually it will help you! Even if you decide to psyche yourself out of going to sleep, meditation is still worth doing. Done right, the benefits of meditation go beyond forty winks! You've got yourself less oxygen consumption, a decreased respiratory rate, decreases in muscle tension and increased blood flow. What I am telling you is you have no excuse not to at least give it a shot. For those of you who liked the pitch but aren't sure where to begin, I've got some helpful tips for you: 1. Make it a formal practice. Set aside a time in the day that is your meditation practice time. 2. Only meditate for as long as you are enjoying it. It is especially important in the beginning that meditation is not a chore. 3. Do yoga or stretch first. Firstly physical activity will draw your own awareness into the body and away from your mind. A practice like yoga loosens the muscles and tendons allowing you to sit more comfortably. Additionally, yoga opens the body not only at the physical level but also at subtle level, which facilitates movement of energy in the body. 4. Pick a specific location in your home to meditate. Ideally the place you choose will be somewhere that does not have much activity at other times. Two reasons for doing this are, the subconscious is conditioned by repetition, so by going to the same place at the same time each day to meditate you can get in yourself to expect to meditate when you are there. The second reason is that when you meditate you begin to create a particular vibration in that spot. With time and meditation and place will become increasingly attuned to this energy of meditation, again making it easier for you to meditate when you are there. 5. Make sure your will meditation time is respected. if you live with others make sure that they understand that you are not to be disturbed while you are meditating. Equally for yourself make the same commitment, for example if your phone should ring, be aware of it and continue your meditation. 6. Create some representation of sacred space in your meditations spot. This should obviously be what is meaningful for you, maybe an actual altar with pictures and objects, or maybe just a special rug and your meditation cushion. 7. Use ritual if it helps you. This doesn't have to be elaborate it could be as simple as lighting a candle, or a lighting incense. The repetition of a ritual before you meditate, is again conditioning preparation for your body and mind. Now that you've become familiar with the basics of meditation, here are some great meditations to help you fall asleep: Gibberish meditation BENEFITS:<br style=""> <br style=""> The mind becomes accustomed to the release, the unburdening of all this mental stress, and welcomes it. Afterward you enjoy a good natural sleep Stage One: Gibberish Stage Two: Sit in silence. The gibberish works so well because there’s no judgment involved as you empty out the mental overload. You can’t start analyzing or feeling guilty about what you’re saying. When you speak in sounds you don’t know what you are saying. Your gestures, your passion are doing the work. Do this for at least 2 minutes at night for 7 days. 2. Laughter meditation BENEFITS:<br style=""> <br style=""> Laughter releases a tremendous amount of tension and makes us feel better and fall asleep more easily. Laughter is one of the easiest ways to free yourself from the mind's constant thought process and find inner peace. It will make you more alive, more healthy, more creative, and more silent. Incorporate more laughter into your day, in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening. Imagine going to bed after a day with a lot of laughter in it. You are guaranteed a deep relaxing sleep. Simply relax into the enjoyment. You will discover in yourself a tremendous natural talent for rejoicing in life. You may even laugh your way to enlightenment. Yes, it's that good. Remember to laugh a lot every day and join me in creating an epidemic of laughter meditation worldwide. Quote Link to comment

The pulp can be use to make salads and the peel is used to make candies and in Chinese cooking, citrus peel is often used for flavoring, especially in sweet soup desserts. Buying Tip: When buying pomelo choose fruit that is heavy for its size, blemish-free and has fragrant sweet smell. If you can, choose the pink and red variety which is slightly sweeter and more nutritious (because of the darker pigment). Juicing Tip: Keep the fruit at room temperature before juicing to get the most out of it. To prepare, quarter the fruit and peel off the skin. Leave in as much rind as possible as it contains the most anti-cancer agents. You may add honey if you find the juice too sour. Quote Link to comment

knoll1234 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Its either you are a sufferer or a giver of advice. It really sometimes makes sense to meditate and clear your thoughts, and slowly fall into a dream like hypnotic state., good advice, I like it. Quote Link to comment
